I burn out both my brake light elements when I apply the brakes. Replaced the switch at the pedal cluster and cleaned the taillight housing contacts.
Bad ground? Thanks Sled |

Make sure your lamp base looks like this... Note the oval electrode. European style.

These will cause a bad connection and sometimes short. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/a248.e.akamai.net-10496-1390875610.4.jpg) |
